School Description

This school is larger than the average-size primary school. There are fifteen single-age classes. Three quarters of pupils are of White British heritage. The other pupils are mainly from Pakistani or Bangladeshi backgrounds. The proportion of pupils who speak English as an additional language is below the national average. The proportion of current pupils known to be eligible for the pupil premium is just below average. There are slightly more girls than boys in the school. The proportion of pupils who have special educational needs and/or disabilities is lower than the national average. The number of pupils with a statement of special educational needs, or education, health and care plans is higher than average. The school meets the government’s current floor standards, which are the minimum expectations for pupils’ attainment in reading, writing and mathematics by the end of Inspection report: Nessfield Primary School, 23–24 May 2017 Page 13 of 16 Year 6. There has been significant upheaval in staffing and leadership since the time of the previous inspection. The headteacher left in July 2016 and governors appointed the deputy headteacher as the acting headteacher. The acting headteacher has been absent from school since February 2017. The current deputy headteacher and assistant headteacher, responsible for special needs and the early years respectively, hold senior leadership responsibilities on fixedterm contracts that end in August 2017. A residential visit for Year 6 pupils took place over the two days of the inspection. This meant that some established staff who accompanied the pupils were not present during the inspection. At the time of inspection, the school leadership was represented by the local authority school improvement officer and the new chair of the governing body, the previous chair having resigned earlier in the year. In February 2017, the governing body, working with the local authority, carried out a recruitment process to secure a substantive headteacher but no suitable applicant was found. The local authority is in the process of replacing the governing body with an interim executive board. At the time of inspection, there were significant levels of staff long-term absence through sickness, with approximately half the teaching staff complement affected. Temporary teachers are covering classes, either on fixed-term contracts or on a daily basis. The local authority has brokered a number of support mechanisms for leaders and governors over the last two years. Currently, plans are evolving to provide support through a consultant leader from the Beckfoot Teaching Schools Alliance but this support is not in place. The school does not meet requirements on the publication of information about details relating to the governing body, the impact on the educational attainment of the pupil premium allocation or the impact of the sport premium funding use on its website.
